As soon as she was born it was apparent that Opal had a remarkable fleece. And with Elite International genetics including some of Snowmass' finest originals: Snowmass IncaAccoyo Star, Peruvian Snowbells, Peruvian Bueno, Hemingway, Snowmass Silver Pearl, Peruvian Accoyo Arctic, and Peruvian Snowmaster, how could you not be good?

Opal has a fleece that shows pervasive fineness, incredible definition, and dense bundles of bright, low micron, low amplitude, high frequency, tight crimp with long staple length.

Not only her fleece is exquisite though, her conformation is too! She shines with her GrandSire Hemingway's genetics, with her ‘Hemingway head’, lovely topknot, and perfect spear-shaped ears.

Her sire - award-winning Accoyo Snowmass Snow Legend, had a 14.4 micron fleece at 1st shearing, and his fleece has maintained it's lingering fineness, still at 20.8 microns at 9 years of age. This he has passed onto his cria.

Her dam - Hemingway's Ruth has added pervasive fineness and elite genetics to our breeding program, as well as remarkable density and lingering fineness. Even after her 8th shearing, her AFD is 21.1 microns!!!! In 3 previous breedings to Snowmass Snow Legend, Ruth threw an incredible male-Uzziah, who had a 14.5 micron count at his second shearing, and 2 females-Dia & Ruby with first micron counts of 15.1 and 15.3, respectively!!

NOTE: The cut-rate prices of our girls are NOT a reflection of their quality. We simply need to make room for the new cria coming on this year! Our loss is your gain!!
